Best Skillet Eggs And Tomato Sauce Recipes

EGGS IN TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Warm a thin layer of olive oil in a small skillet. Add the diced onion and sauté over medium-low heat until translucent - about 5 minutes. In the meanwhile, prepare your tomatoes by removing the flesh/pulp from the tomatoes. Discard the skin; give the pulp a rough chop.
• Add the garlic to the onion and sauté for 30 seconds. Add the chopped up tomato pulp along with the tomato paste. Stir together and cook for 1 minute, then add 1/8 cup of water.
• Add the leaves from the sprig of thyme, about 1/2 tsp of salt (or to taste) and a pinch of freshly ground pepper. Let the mixture simmer over low heat for a few minutes for the tomatoes to soften up a bit.
• Crack the eggs open and onto the tomato sauce. Set the heat to medium-low and place a lid over the skillet. Let the eggs cook for about 4-6 minutes, until the yolks have obtained a thin white film over them and the whites are cooked.
• Before serving, sprinkle a small pinch of salt and pepper over just the eggs. Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil and/or fresh parsley or basil.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, just until it starts to brown around edges, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add tomatoes, 2 teaspoons salt, and basil; simmer until tomatoes have broken down into a loose sauce, about 20 minutes.
• Make a well in tomato sauce with the back of a large spoon and crack 1 egg into well. Repeat with remaining 5 eggs. Season with salt and pepper and cook until whites are set and yolks are cooked as desired, about 25 to 30 minutes. Top with cheese and serve with sauce immediately from the skillet.

SKILLET EGGS AND TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic, crushed red pepper, and anchovies, if desired; cook, stirring frequently, until onion begins to soften, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Crush tomatoes with your hands, and add to skillet along with their juice. Simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until slightly reduced, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Reduce heat to a very gentle simmer. One by one, break eggs into a small cup, then gently slide onto sauce in skillet; cover, and cook until whites are just set, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; let sit, covered, 5 minutes more. Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley.

ANDE KI KARI (EGGS IN SPICY TOMATO SAUCE)

Steps:

• Hard-boil the eggs: Bring a large pot of water to a boil, then carefully lower eggs into water. Cook for 9 to 10 minutes, then transfer with a slotted spoon to an ice bath. Let cool, then crack and peel. Reserve.
• Set a box grater over a bowl. Starting with their cut sides, grate the tomatoes through the large holes so tomato pulp falls into bowl. Discard skins. Measure out 2 cups tomato purée. (Save the rest for another purpose, such as adding to a vinaigrette.)
• Heat ghee (or butter or oil) and coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in onions and cook until deeply golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes, stirring constantly to encourage even browning.
• Stir in garlic, ginger and cumin seeds; cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir in cinnamon and cardamom and cook another 1 minute. Stir in coriander, cumin, turmeric, red pepper flakes and black pepper, then add tomato purée. Cook, stirring frequently, until sauce is thick and fat begins to separate, about 10 minutes. Stir in salt and boiling water. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, covered, until sauce is thick and has a satin sheen, 7 to 12 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for another 20 minutes to let flavors meld.
• When ready to serve, cut eggs in half lengthwise. Bring sauce back to a simmer over low heat, stir in garam masala, and gently add eggs to sauce. Simmer just long enough to heat eggs through. Top with cilantro and serve with yogurt and rice or flatbread if desired.

ONE-SKILLET ORZO WITH TOMATOES AND EGGS

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook onion, garlic, and red pepper flakes, stirring often, until onion is softened and translucent, about 4 minutes. Add orzo and stir until coated in butter, about 30 seconds. Add tomatoes and juices and cook, stirring, until liquid is reduced and tomatoes are starting to stick to skillet, about 4 minutes.
• Add salt and 2 cups water, increase heat to medium-high, and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low, cover pan (a baking sheet works well if you don't have a lid), and cook 8 minutes, stirring halfway through. Uncover and simmer 1 minute-mixture should be fluid but not watery. Stir again, then remove from heat and crack each egg into a quadrant of pan.
• Cover pan, set over low heat, and cook, rotating pan every 2 minutes or so, until eggs are nearly set, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle cheese over, avoiding eggs, cover pan, and cook until cheese is melted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and top with a few grinds of pepper and basil to serve.
